Introduction Click to copy section linkSection link copied! In the pursuit of improving Li-ion battery technologies, nanocathodes could effectively enhance lithium-ion storage and release rates due to the shorter diffusion distances and enlarged surface areas for ions. (1,2) However, as the scale of cathode materials decreases to the nanodimension, many of the degradation mechanisms can be exacerbated, leading to critical challenges in using nanomaterials in batteries.

Methods Intervention We used a quasi-experimental study incorporating a historical control group to examine the effect of department-wide faculty development efforts around narrative evaluation quality over a 4-year period. Our faculty development efforts included a multipronged approach grounded in pragmatic, solution-oriented actions and included 4 key elements.
